    When i start making the real set for my truck,How do i need to aim them?Do they need to be pointing at me or just toward the steering wheel..That is where im not sure?

    Try aiming ones you have now facing front, center and towards the back .Pop off panel and try aiming .I tried that and ended up deciding facing middle sounded best with my tweeters .

    As a starting point, aim the tweeters at the opposing headrest. So make the aiming adjustment, then sit in the opposing seat and make sure the tweeter is pointed right at your forehead with your head turned and with your eyes are facing the tweeter. Makes a huge improvement and avoids beaming right from the start.

    I would avoid trying to bounce and ricochet the tweeter sound unless you are getting into super sound quality imagining and fully independent active channels.
